I love dogs. When I walk into some kind of gathering, I say hello to the dogs first. I'm not being rude, or maybe I am, but I say hello to them first. I would like to become a dog walker because I need a second job and I wanted to do something that I enjoy and that would really benefit someone else. I figure if I can help you out, I help out the dog too and I get paid for it. So we all win. :) I'm not athletic, so I won't be running with your dog. I can do a brisk walk, maybe a little jog but I will let the dog stop and smell whatever he or she needs to smell. Dogs are social and they like to smell everything, I let them. As far as past experience with dogs, I've dog sat just for friends and family. I've never made a living of it, but this might be a good way for me to earn extra money, get some exercise and help out some of y'all.
